Description
This book is a celebration of a father's love. Much is written about a mother's love, but little is ever said about a father's love, except around Father's Day. This insightful and thought-provoking book illustrates how a father's love is forgiving, everlasting, unconditional...and often misunderstood.
Using the Christian faith to show that fathers love as deeply as mothers, just differently, the book is designed to create "ah-ha" moments for readers who have previously not identified what the love of a father looks like. Through the use of Biblical scriptures, references, and examples, it highlights fathers in the Bible who modeled the love of a father, and challenges men to openly express the love of a father as modeled in the Word of God. It sets a mood of openness and gives the reader permission to expand his thoughts beyond what he sees to what can be possible.

Person
Ken Gordon is a father, husband, and author who has spent many Saturdays enjoying yummy ice cream with his children.Ken, and his wife Leslie, have four "adulting" children, two beautiful grandchildren, and cockapoo.Now that their children no longer live at home, Ken makes yummy ice cream treats for Leslie, who favorite flavor is Butter Pecan.Writing a children's series was Leslie's idea, which she presented to Ken one Saturday morning. The idea of writing a book about a dad enjoying ice cream with his family brought back wonderful memories from Ken's own childhood. It was these lasting memories that inspired Ken to write a book, encouraging dads to spend time creating wonderful memories for their own families.Additionally, Ken believes fathers should spend time engaging with the children and not just being present. Whether it is at the ice cream parlor, in the kitchen, at the dining room table, or playing games, a dad should spend time and create lasting memories for his children, as Ken did for his, and as Ken's dad did for him.
